wdmLogin - wdm login panel SYNOPSIS
wdmLogin [-d display] [-l logo] [-w <window managers>] [-b background] [-h helpfile] [-u username] [-p password] DESCRIPTION
wdmLogin is greeter designed to work with wdm(1x). It has several features not found on xdm's greeter. wdmLogin should not be called directly, that's wdm's task. OPTIONS
-d starts on the specified display -l uses the specified logo for the panel. The logo will be resized to 200 by 130 pixels. -w presents the colon separated list of window managers, for the user to pick one, or None if you want only NoChange to appear. -a enables animations consisting of shaking the Login panel (if an error) and rolling up the image (when closing the panel). -h uses the specified text file to display in the help panel instead of the static help message which is in the sources. Take care of long lines which may cause display trouble in the help panel. -u use the default username and password as specified in wdm-config if nothing is typed by the user. USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION. -b uses the specified background image (see the next section). If this is not specified, then the background is NOT set. BACKGROUND IMAGE SPECIFICATION
There are several possible ways of specifing a background image. The generic format is -btype:image. type can be any of: none do not set the background. This user can still set the background via other means. solid it renders a solid backgroud, and image is a color name hgradient, vgradient, dgradient a gradient (either horizontal, vertical or diagonal) will be rendered. image is comma separated of color names, and any number of colors can be specified. pixmap a pixmap will be used for the background. image is the full path to an image file (tiff, png, jpeg and xpm allowed) and it will be scaled to use the full screen. FILES
wdmLogin can be customized by modifying /etc/X11/wdm/wdm-config. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
Some variables that defines locale affects the look of wdmLogin. wdm program will set LANG environment variable according to `wdmLocale' resource in wdm-config file. SEE ALSO

XmInstallImage(library call) XmInstallImage(library call) NAME
XmInstallImage -- A pixmap caching function that adds an image to the image cache SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h> Boolean XmInstallImage( XImage * image, char * image_name); DESCRIPTION
XmInstallImage stores an image in an image cache that can later be used to generate a pixmap. Part of the installation process is to extend the resource converter used to reference these images. The resource converter is given the image name so that the image can be ref- erenced in a .Xdefaults file. Since an image can be referenced by a widget through its pixmap resources, it is up to the application to ensure that the image is installed before the widget is created. image Points to the image structure to be installed. The installation process does not make a local copy of the image. Therefore, the application should not destroy the image until it is uninstalled from the caching functions. image_name Specifies a string that the application uses to name the image. After installation, this name can be used in .Xdefaults for ref- erencing the image. A local copy of the name is created by the image caching functions. The image caching functions provide a set of eight preinstalled images. These names can be used within a .Xdefaults file for generating pixmaps for the resource for which they are provided. +---------------+---------------------------------------------------+ |Image Name | Description | +---------------+---------------------------------------------------+ |background | A tile of solid background | +---------------+---------------------------------------------------+ |25_foreground | A tile of 25% foreground, 75% background | +---------------+---------------------------------------------------+ |50_foreground | A tile of 50% foreground, 50% background | +---------------+---------------------------------------------------+ |75_foreground | A tile of 75% foreground, 25% background | +---------------+---------------------------------------------------+ |horizontal | A tile of horizontal lines of the two colors | +---------------+---------------------------------------------------+ |vertical | A tile of vertical lines of the two colors | +---------------+---------------------------------------------------+ |slant_right | A tile of slanting lines of the two colors | +---------------+---------------------------------------------------+ |slant_left | A tile of slanting lines of the two colors | +---------------+---------------------------------------------------+ |menu_cascade | A tile of an arrow of the foreground color | +---------------+---------------------------------------------------+ |menu_checkmark | A tile of a checkmark of the foreground color | +---------------+---------------------------------------------------+ |menu_dash | A tile of one horizontal line of the foreground | | | color | +---------------+---------------------------------------------------+ +---------------+---------------------------------------------------+ RETURN
Returns True when successful; returns False if NULL image, NULL image_name, or duplicate image_name is used as a parameter value. RELATED
